A nonconformance in business is anything that did not go as planned and can occur in any sector. It can be a product-related nonconformance, an issue with a good’s supplier, or simply a process that has gone awry. At any rate, deviations need to be properly documented in order to prevent their recurrence and keep track of their prevalence. An NCR report is meant to identify areas of non-conformance with the aim to correct them. In this specific template, you can describe what went wrong, including details like date, time, number, and who was involved. Once you’ve rated its severity level, determined its cause, and attached any related documents, you can then go on to the third and final section of implementing corrective actions.
